J3encfits ot JE&ucatton to tbe Deaf.

An Address Delivered by Edwin A. Hodgson, at the Centennial Celebration
of the American School for the Deaf, at Hartford, Ct., July 4th, 1917.

We celebrate today one hundred years of educational opportu-
nity for the deaf. We render homage to the great, the good,
the benevolent Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, to whose wisdom
and philanthropy our emancipation from the thralldom of ignor-
ance is due.

Antecedent to that memorable morning of April 15th, 1817,-
when the first school for the deaf in the New World was opened,
thousands had lived and died in mental darkness. The native
intelligence existed, but there were no systematic attempts to
cultivate and develop it. The imprisoned soul yearned in vain
for inspiration from the people, the books, the culture that cried
out to it on every hand.

" Por knowledge to their eyei her ample page,
Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll ;
Stark helplessness repressed their noble rage,
And froze the genial current of the soul."

We have been told, year after year, on the recurrence of Gal-
laudet's birth — the 10th of December— the story of his life. His
ancestry can be traced back to Joshua Gallaudet, who lived at
the little village of Mauze, near La Rochelle, inJFrance, at the
time of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685. Joshua Gallaudet was
married to Margaret Prioleau, the granddaughter of Elizee Prio-
leau, a distinguished Huguenot minister. To Joshua and Mar-
garet Gallaudet was born a son, Peter Blisha, a physician, who
fled, shortly after the Revocation, to New Rochelle, N. Y. He
married, and a son, Thomas, born in 1724, was married to
Catherine Edgar, and their second son, Peter Wallace, was mar-
ried to Jane Hopkins, of Hartford, Ct. She was a descendant of
John Hopkins, one of the Puritan settlers of Hartford. To Peter
Wallace and Jane Gallaudet, on December ioth, 1787, was born
a son, Thomas Hopkins Gau<audkt, the one we are assembled
here today to honor.

The parents of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet moved to Philadel-
phia when he was thirteen years of age. In the autumn of 1802,
Gallaudet entered Yale College, qualifying for the Sophomore
Class. In a class of forty-two, he was one of six who gradu-
ated with the honor of an oration. He later took a course at
Andover Theological Seminary, graduating in 1814.

I am warned that other speakers will discourse on Gallaudet's
life in a more exhaustive vein, so this brief statement is merely
to show that, by heredity, environment and the trend of his edu-
cation, Gallaudet was favorably influenced and fittingly prepared
for the noble part he played in the philanthropies and charities
which distinguished his career.

You are all familiar with Gallaudet's journey across the Atlan-
tic in search of information concerning the methods of instruct-
ing the deaf, that had been pursued in England, Scotland and
France. How he was rebuffed and refused assistance in Great
Britain, and eventually aided by the Abbe Sicard, who had suc-
ceeded De l'Epee in France. And, finally, his return to Amer-
ica in August, 18 16, bringing not only a knowledge of the French
system of educating the deaf, but also a brilliant exponent of
that system in the person of Laurent Clerc.

Gallaudet and Clerc traveled from city to city, giving exposi-
tions, which brought to the cause of the education of the deaf
money and friends. In fact, Gallaudet demonstrated to the peo-
ple what we are still trying to show them today — that the deaf
and dumb can be educated up to a very high degree of profi-
ciency, and become active, earnest, honest and capable citizens
of the State.

And so the first school for the deaf in America was born of
benevolence. It was dependent upon charity. Its founder was
confronted with public skepticism and private indifference, and
the road to success seemed both difficult and doubtful. Hut the
strength of will, the nobility of purpose, the unwavering faith
of Gallaudet in the righteousness of the cause he espoused, con-
quered all opposition and ultimate victory was won. God's sun-
light shone upon the deaf and dumb.

There were seven pupils in the first class that assembled at
Hartford, when the education of the deaf was begun, on April
15th, 1817. They were Alice Cogswell, George Loring, Wilson
Whiton, Abigail Dillingham, Otis Waters, John Brewster and
Nancy Orr. Three of them became teachers (George Loring,
Wilson Whiton and Abigail Dillingham). John Brewster, who
entered at the age of fifty-one years, is chronicled as a portrait
painter.

Levi H. Backus, who is tenth on the list of pupils who entered
in 1K17, after a course of five years, taught at a private school
for the deaf in Canajoharie, N. Y. , and became editor of the
Canajoharie Radii, in which he conducted one or more columns
of deaf-mute news, in the year 1839 or thereabouts. He was the
pioneer in deaf-mute journalism in this country. He obtained a
small subsidy from the State, and, later, aided by this same legis-
lative grant, the DBA i'- Munis' Jouhnai. was begun and con-
ducted by Henry C. Rider from the year 1872 to 1879, since
which time it has been my especial honor and pride to have been
its editor, although no State subsidy has been claimed or re-
ceived for a quarter of a century.

Less than a month after the opening of the " Connecticut Asyl-
um for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb ivi
sons," as the school was then officially designated, there entered
a young lady pupil, who was destined to give a tremendous im-

pulse to the uplift of the deaf. She was Sophia Fowler, of Guil-
ford, Ct., and, at the date of admission, May 7th, 1817, she
was a comely and intelligent young lady of nineteen years. Her
native mentality was so bright, her diligence and studious dis-
position so marked, that in a course of four years her progress
was remarkably rapid, and this, combined with her personal
charms and loveliness of character, won the heart of her teacher,
and she became Mrs. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. She was the
mother of Dr. Edward Miner Gallaudet and Rev. Dr. Thomas
Gallaudet, the first of whom founded the only College for the
Higher Education of the Deaf ; the other the first Church for
the Deaf, the first Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes, and
also established religious missions that at present are actively
engaged in promoting the welfare of the deaf in nearly every
State in the Union.

Taking into consideration the meagre educational facilities and
the inadequate provisions for instructing the deaf in the infant
years of the first school, coupled with the advanced ages and
short terms of the pupils, one is amazed at the wonderful results
attained. Shall we credit it to the teachers, or to the extraordi-
nary native talent of the pupils ? Or was it because of the
broad, free and untrammelled use of the sign-language, which
was the basis of the French system employed ?

Since the advantages of education have come to them, the
great majority of the deaf have lived lives of useful and intelli-
gent industry. They have proved themselves productive factors
in the wealth and welfare of the community and loyal citizens of
the State. Their careers have formed examples of courage and
zeal in overcoming obstacles that the condition of deafness has
placed in their pathway, for they have been alert and ready to
render a full meed of service in every occupation that has engage
ed the capabilities of their heads and hands.

Of those who derived their intellectual sustenance at Hartford
within the first half century of its existence, and made exception-
al records for mental culture, force of character and professional
accomplishment, particular mention might be made of the follow-
ing :—

William Willard, founder of the Indiana Institution, for two
years its principal, and, subsequently, for twenty years a valued
instructor.

Edmund Booth, a giant in stature as well as in intellect, who,
for a few years, was a teacher at his Alma Mater. He removed
to Iowa, where he published and edited the Anamosa Eureka, ■
newspaper for the hearing community. He also held public office
in that city for many years.

Job Turner, who was a teacher in Virginia, and for nearly or
quite thirty years an ordained minister of the Episcopal Church,
with a mission field that covered every locality south of the
Mason and Dixon line.

William B. Swett, who founded the New England Industrial
School at Beverly, Mass. , and conducted it with great success
until his death.

William Martin Chamberlain, teacher, editor, and remarkable
man in public affairs.

George A. Holmes, whose influence and activities helped to
consolidate the interests of the deaf of New England, in
religious and organized enterprise.

James Denison for nearly three decades was Principal of
Kendall School. He was the inventor of the I Vinson Fraction
Scale, a contrivance for teaching fractions. As a writer of
prose he was a graceful in expression and forceful in presenta-
tion. He also was a writer of poetry of more than ordinary
merit.

Melville Ballard was the first graduate of Gallaudet College.
For many years he was an instructor at Kendall School. He
attained superiority in the French language, and was a leading
example of the successful work of the Combined System.

11. Humphrey Moore, one of the really great artists in oils,
whose canvasses, remarkable for coloring, composition and
originality, may be seen in many of the art institutes and public
and private galleries of this and other countries.

Philip A. Ivimiv (bunded the Kansas Institution and also the
Chicago Day Schools. For a few years he was Principal of the
Kansas Institution and for many years presided over and guided
the Day Schools in Chicago.

Fisher Ames Spofford, who became an instructor of deaf
children at the Institution at Columbus, Ohio.

Samuel T. Green, a polished and scholarly gentleman, who
introduced American methods into the Institution for the Deaf
in Helleville, Ontario, Canada, and was a teacher there until his
death.

Joseph G Parkinson, at one time Chief Examiner of Patents
in the United States Patent Office, and during his latter years
a patent attorney in Chicago.

William L. Hill, proprietor and editor of the most Influential
newspaper in his section, the Athol, Mass., Tninsoipt.

I lent v C. White founded tWO Institutions for the education of
the deaf — the Utah Institution at Ogdcn ami the Arizona
Institution at Phoenix. He is also compiler of a book on com-
mon law.

A close scrutiny of the early records of the Hartford School
will reveal many others who carved so well their path in the
world as to reflect credit upon their Alma Mater.

Linking the first half century of education for the deaf with
the second, are such distinguished products of our schools as
John Carlin, a miniature painter, a classical scholar, a poet, and
a painter of biblical and historical studies.

Albert Newsam, the greatest lithographer and^engraver of his
time.

And these preceptors and exemplars of the benefits of
education to the deaf and dumb : Walter W. Angus and Sidney

J. Vail, of Indiana ; Zachariah McCoy, of Wisconsin ; William
M. L. Bregg and Thomas L. Brown, of Michigan ; Selah Wait,
of Illinois ; Thomas Jefferson Trist, of Philadelphia. And it
would be almost criminal to forget " Old Tom" Brown, of New
Hampshire, who, in 1871, like Cincinnatus of old, left his plow
to organize the deaf, at Albany, N. Y., and lead the movement
to perpetuate with a monument the memory of the first deaf-
mute teacher in America, Laurent Clerc.

There was one school for the deaf on the American continent
on April 15, 1817, and seven pupils under instruction. To-day
there are 157 schools in the United States, 64 of which are
public residential schools, 74 public day schools, and 19 deno-
minational and private schools. The aggregate number of pupils
is quite close onto fifteen thousand, and the total annual ex-
penditure for their education is approximately three and a half
million dollars.

The little seed that Gallaudet planted at Hartford became a
tree of enlightenment, which has burgeoned and grown and
expanded until its overspreading branches encompass a conti-
nent, wherein the boon and blessing of an education to every
deaf child no longer depends upon sporadic charity or private
opulence, but is vested in the economic wisdom and careful
liberality of the State.

The progressive spread of the elementary schools was fast
providing for the educational welfare of the deaf of the nation.
In the year 1864 there were twenty-six institutions for
instructing the deaf in the ordinary branches of a common
school course. Still there were many deaf-mutes possessed of
the mental capacity and imbued with the worthy aspiration to
pursue an advanced curriculum. Therefore, the crowning
triumph of the education of the deaf was signalized by the
establishment of the National Deaf- Mute College (now Gal-
laudet College) at Kendall Green, Washington, D. C. Its
founder was Kdward Miner Gallaudet, Ph.D., LL.D., who,
valiantly bearing the burden of fourscore years, is with us to-
day.

Gallaudet College is the only college for the deaf in the world,
and its founder is universally regarded as the highest living
authority upon the education of the deaf.

To Gallaudet College deaf men have come from different
countries to secure the benefits of a higher education, which
could not be obtained in their own countries. About thirty
years ago its doors were opened to young ladies, and since then
the work of co-education has been carried forward with com-
mendable success. A large percentage of the leading deaf of the
United States received their intellectual polish at Kendall
Green.

Another valuable function of Gallaudet College is the Normal
Course of one year, offered to graduates of Universities,
Colleges and High Schools, who aspire to become teachers of the
deaf. Many men and not a few women, who have attained
distinction in the profession of teaching, were trained for the
work in Gallaudet's Normal Classes.

Since the college was established, its influence upon the
education of the deaf has been steady and cumulative. The
staudards of the various Institutions have been repeatedly raised
in order to enable prospective students to meet the requirements
of the College entrauce examinations. It is the glowing jewel
in the diadem of education in which the wide circle of
Institutions form the surrounding cluster.

The benefits the deaf have derived from the special schools for
their education is evidenced by their home life, by their status in
society, in the marts of industry, and in the political community.

They pursue with skill and ability almost every occupation in
which the sense of hearing is not absolutely essential. The
percentage of incompetents is so low as to be almost negligible.

There are many instances in which inherent genius and native
talent have been developed to an extraordinary degree and pro-
duced success in the higher avocations. As a matter of historical
record, it seems fitting to chronicle herein a few of those who
have risen superior to the ordinary lines of employment and
reached out to better things.

First of all, I would mention Douglas Tilden, whose creations
in sculpture and other accomplishments, stamp him as the great-
est living deaf-mute. An artist in oils, a caricaturist, a writer of
English that is forceful, cynical, euphonious and poetical as he
wills, he stands before the world as a rare and versatile genius.

The late Rev. Henry Winter Syle, with gentle ways and an
indomitable force of character, was the first deaf-mute in the his-
tory of Christianity to break through the red tape of ecelesias
ticism and become an ordained minister of the Gospel. He was
a scholar of eminence, a chemist and assayer of high standing,
and a friend and companion of both the high and humble deaf
for whom he incessantly labored and eventually gave his life.

In analytical and synthetical chemistry we have superior ex-
ponenta in George 1. Dougherty, of Chicago; Isaac Goldberg,
of Urooklyn ; James W. Howson, of Berkeley ; David Fried-
man, of Cleveland

Government Microscopist, and Demonstrator of Microscopy at
the Western Pennsylvania Medical College. He is also the com-
piler of that wonderful collection of simplified stories published
under the title of " The Raindrop."

Strange as it may seem, the deaf have in not a few instances
developed poetical talent. Some of them have published volumes
of poetry which competent critics concede to possess real merit.
In the galaxy of deaf poets the following may be enumerated :
John Carlin, Mrs. Mary Toles Peet, Mrs. Laura C. R. Searing,
Miss Alice E. Jennings, Mrs. Angie Fuller Fischer, Mrs. May
Martin Stafford, J. Schuyler Long, Frederick J. Meagher, J. W.
Sowell, J. H. McFarlane.

The late Robert H. King was a Notary Public and Insurance
Agent; and at the time of his death was a Director of the Ken-
tucky Institution. Notwithstanding his deafness, he served in
the Union Army with distinction during the Civil War.

Frank R. Gray is a skilled maker of optical and scientific in-
struments, and an amateur astronomer of no small calibre.

Cadwallader Washburn, of Minnesota, has won fame as an
etcher, and also as an artist in oils and water colors. Granville
Redmond, of California, and Will Quinlan, o* New York, have
both worked their way to distinction with the brush and palette.
Albert Ballin, Jacques Alexander, and Miss Ruby Abrams, of
New York, are also artists deserving of mention.

Elmer E. Hannan, of Washington, D. C, although he has
not created a chef (Toehvre, as a sculptor, has been successful in
producing work of considerable merit.

A. R. Spear, of Minnesota, founder of the North Dakota Insti-
tution for the Deaf, and for five years its superintendent, is
patentee of a merchandise mailing envelope. It is made in his
own manufactory, and extensively sold in wholesale quantities.

Anton Schroeder, another Minnesotan, is an inventor and
manufacturer of storm-sash and door-screen hangers.

George W. Veditz is a fluent writer in English, French and
German, and a prolific contributor to magazines and newspapers.
He is the " poultry king" of Colorado. At chess he is the only
man to have vanquished a national champion.

The late James E. Gallaher was Principal of the Chicago Day
Schools, a (splendid writer, an ardent worker, a deep thinker,
and an author of valuable books' relating to the deaf.

Leo C. Williams, of San Francisco, a man of unquestionable
grit and enterprise, has made a fortune as a contractor in big
business that required skill along engineering lines.

William W. Beadell has successfully edited newspapers for the
hearing community in Illinois and Vermont, and for the past
fifteen years has been editor and proprietor of the Arlington, N.
J., Observer.

Alexander L. Pach, of New York, for many years was head of
the printing department of Pach Bros., Photographers on Fifth
Avenue. At the age of fifty, he started a studio of his own, on
Broadway facing Wall Street. In three years he has made a
wonderful record for success, and at this writing is filling a con-
tract for photographing 1300 officials of a big financial establish-
ment, which calls for forty sitters on each working day. His
studio has every modern facility, is luxuriously appointed, and
includes three assistants and a busy stenographer.

Frank P. Gibson, by his wonderful power as an organizer, has
made the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf the greatest
and most prosperous mutual insurance organization of the deaf
that the world has ever known.

Dr. Edwin Nles has a lucrative practice in dentistry, and also
is instructor in oral hygiene at the Vanderbilt Clinic in New
York City.

In New York City, Emanuel Souweine has been a boss en-
graver for twenty years , William H. Rose is proprietor of an
extensive printing business ; Edward Elsworth owns a fine print-
ing plant, including a linotype ; and each of them employs both
deaf and hearing experts in the lines they represent.

The profession of teaching has absorbed the energies of a con-
siderable number of deaf men and women — men and women of

erudite scholarship and specialized skill in the art of teaching

whose greatest ambition has been, and is at the present day, to
cultivate the intellect and develop the native talent of the " silent
children" entrusted to their care. There very few instances
indeed in which deaf teachers have failed to make good, for their
sympathies, their very souls, are lured into the task by some
mysterious power that lends them aid and inspiration. Some of
these deaf teachers have, by mental superiority and forceful
personality, eclipsed and outranked in position not a few of their
colleagues who can hear. Shining on this roster are Dr. John B.
Hotchkiss and Dr. Amos G. Draper, Professors at Gallaudet
College ; Dr. Robert Patterson, Principal of the Ohio Institution ;

Dr. Thomas Francis Fox. Senior Assistant, in the academic de-
partment, to the Principal of the New York Institution ; Rev.

Dr. James H. Cloud, Principal of the St. Louis Day School for

the Deaf ; Dr. James L. Smith, head teacher at the Minnesota

Institution ; the late May Martin Stafford, who was Professor of

Knglish at Gallaudet College ; Dr. Samuel Gaston Davidson,

At the repeated solicitation of
several prominent people, from
among the deaf and also hearing
men who are engaged in the educa-
tion of the deaf, we present this
week the address delivered at the
the Centennial Celebration of the
American School for the Deaf at
Hartford.

We are well aware of its many
shortcomings, and can only say
that the authorities prescribed the
subject and gave us a time limit that
we exceeded three times over. And
we hope to be pardoned for the
innumerable omissions of worthy
examples of educational and busi-
ness success by the deaf, as they did
not occur to us in the hurry of pre-
paring it, which was done at odd
times during the busy month pre-
ceding the Celebration.

Together with a mass of other
correspondence that has been post-
poned, we have been obliged to omit
this week the report of the proceed-
ings of the Convention of the Penn
sylvania Society for the Advance
ment of the Deaf, a course which we
deplore, more especially because the
meetings of this Society are prolific
of good work and original ideas.
However, it will be placed before
our readers next week.

were appreciated by everybody.

Since rny last letter I discovered
additional names of those who were
in attendance at the reunion for
either one or five days: Mr. and
Mrs. F. P. Gibson, Mrs. Adelia
Taylor, Mrs. Herman Witte, Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Hughes, David
Turrill, George Petrimoulx, Wil-
liam White, Mrs. Minnie Sullivan
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Weller, Horace
Buell, Mrs. E. S. Grout and Sidney
Howard.

Ross MacDonald returned to
Chicago, leaving Mrs MacD. at
Fontana, Wis., where she will pro-
long her vacation.

After spending the past several
weeks with her home folks at Lo
gansport, Ind., Mrs. Richard Long
has returned home greatly improv
ed in health, and glad to be
back among her family and
friends.

Mrs. Charles Boss left this Fri-
day evening for Springfield, 111.,
where she will be the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Hanna. By an
oversight on my part, I omitted to
mention that Mrs. Ilanna's fathei
died an the day she was to return
home, August 18th, she having
been with him nearly all summer.
Mr. Hanna was called to attend the
funeral and returned immediately
to Springfield.

" The bept for the least money"
is the motto adopted by E. E. Carl
son, who has just moved into mag-
nificent quarters in the Avon
Theatre buildings, 3325 Fullerton
Avenue, where he conducts a mer
chant tailoring business, also clean-
ing and pressing. You are invited
to call.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Blachsohleg
er of Indianapolis Ind., are in Chi-
cago as the guests of the tatter's un-
cle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Bornistein.

Mrs. E. S. Grout came all the
way from St. Louis, Mo., to take in
the celebrations at Racine and Chi-
cago. She lived in Chicago some
years ago and feels like old times
to meet her friends — especially
living on the south side.

Albert Siess, of Owosso, Mich.,
paid Chicago his annual visit dur-
ing Labor Day week.

Prof. George Schoolfleld, a pio-
neer teacher at the Kentucky
school, who has been spending sev-
eral weeks with his married chil-
dren, returned home to Danville,
Ky., this week.

Hy the time you get this issne of
the Journal you will be wondering

just what to wear to the dance of
the Chicago Oral Club at the Bel-
mont Hall, Clark and Belmont,
But you are reminded ii
will be strictly informal. Do not
\ however, that the dance of
ts-a-Pas Club occurs on Sat-

their visit to Sunday, September
9th.

Prof. Charles D. Seaton, ac-
companied by his little son, came
from West Virginia to pay his folks
a visit. At the recent meeting of
the Pas a- Pas Club he gave a short
address, took in the Labor Day
outing, and returned home — his visit.
consuming less than a week. The
West Va. School, where he is a
teacher, re-opens shortly.

Cortland Ridler, Moses Graff and
N'orbert, Quinn, all of Kalamazoo,
Mich., preferred to attend the Labor
Day picnic right in Chicago, in spite
of the one being held at Gull Lake,
near Kalamazoo, and which was ex-
tensively advertised by huge illus-
trated posters.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward DesRocher
were apparently the only Chicago
ans to attend the Kalamazoo- Jack-
son picnic. The others who plan-
ned to go, abandoned the idea at the
last minute.

C. W. Mclntruff, bailing from
West Va., newly appointed super-
visor at the Iowa school, stopped for
two days in Chicago, enroute to
Olathe. Edward Rowse showed
him the sights — and paved the way
for renewing acquaintances at the
All Angels' Parish Hall.

Before returning to Fulton, Mo.,
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hughes were
guests at dinner, Friday evening,
with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Waterman.

Mrs. Ethelburga Zell and son,
Prof. Ernest Zell, both teachers at
the Ohio school, were in Chicago last
week as guests of Mr. and Mrs
Ernest Craig, former students of the
same school.

Mrs. Arthur Hindi and daughter,
who have been spending the past
three months with her folks in
Wisconsin, have returned to Chi-
cago. Thus ends Arthur's long
period of lonely grass widower hood
days.

Hark! Hear ye the wedding
bells? At least three brilliant wed-
dings are soon to be chronicled In
the JOURNAL. The happy events
will occur in th Catholic circles —
all during the last part of Septem-
ber.

CALIFORNIA.

Each issue of the JOURNAL men-
tions the oapture of one or more
impostors by the Impostor Bnreau.
To my way of thinking the Btltean
isn't just what it should be. I was
enrolled as a Deputy about two
years ago. J. W. Howson, at the
time had no Deputy's cards, and he
asked mo to print him some. I
agreed to do this and received
special permission from Mr. L. K
Milligan, principal of the School in
Berkeley, to use the type, Ink and
presses of the School printing office.
I was a postgraduate under Mr. P.
W. Baars at that time. The work
was done by myself with no outside
help whatever. I did it, a little
each day, after my regular work on
the California News was finished.
I printed 600 and gave them to Mr.
Howson. Was told, then, that I
would be made an Assistant Mar-
shall for my district, and I was
proud of the honor. I shouldn't
have counted my chickens before
they were batched, for, from that,
day to this I have heard no word, of
thanks or otherwise, from the
Bureau.

" J. A. W." In his Chicago notes,
says :

" Thus oloaed the 86th Anniversary ban-
quet of the Pas-a-Paa Club, 1 812-1817.''

The above is a reminder of the
fact that we once asked Old Father
Time to tnrn backward in his flight.
This is a sign that be has, at last,
heeded our wishes.

On August 4th, San Francisco
Division 63, N. I<\ B. !>., ami their
friends were entortained by one of
the greatest and most interesting
lecturers of the day — Mr. J. W.
Howson. Mr. Howson told of his
trip to different parts of the United
States, and particularly of his visit
to the Nad Convention at Hartford.

E. E. Norton and family recently
returned from a week's vacation,
which was spent In Brentwood at
the home of Mr. Paul De Martini.
He took a swim at Byron Hot
Springs, and was delighted with the
natural warm water that welled up
from the ground. He displayed
many photos of bis trip, which were
hungrily viewed by a jealous bunch
of stay-at-homes.

California climate, like the war
in Europe, Is uncertain at best. It
has begun to rain, and In August,
too. The weather man predicts a
very warm Christmas.

"Zero" must have completely
squelched "Zeuo." Like th" di/h
that ran away with the spoon in the
old nursery rhyme — he hasn't been
heard from si nee.
The Prats' swimming party at

Sutro Baths, on Saturday, August
18th, was marred by an accident
that, nearly proved fatal. Miss M.
Peters accidentally stepped into
deep water, and if It had not been
for two young men, she would have
been drowned. Alter the doctor
had proclaimed bei siilTiciently re-
covered to go lo her home Hhe went
to her dressing 100111 to change her
clothes The rest of the party heard
no more of her until Kundtiy, when
they rend the San Francisco Chro-
nicle. It says :

" A pretty and dishevelled deaf
and dumb girl was found wandering
in Golden Cite Park at n late hour
last night by two men. She could
give no account of herself, and was
completely exhausted from long ex-
posure. When handed a pencil and
pad she wrote down her name and

address."

Miss Peters was taken to the
hospital, and later reportH show that
she is improving.

Mi. and Mrs. Hatcher (Meta Han-
sen) wish to inform their many
friends that they are nettled in their
new home at 541 Central Avenue,
Alameda, and will be pleased to
make visitors welcome.

No one can really dodge war, but
a great many young men are going
to lie severely punished for trying.

Ilyrum Heck intends to keep his
job with the Schmidt Litho. Co , in-
stead of finishing his COOTM »1 the

Berkeley School. In a letter to
Hyruin's father, Mr. Milligan says
that, as Ilyrum was a good scholar,
he will receive his certificate of
graduation with the rest of his
class.

Either the women are wearing
shorter skirts this year or else they
are building the sidewalks a great
deal lower.

On August 25th a social was held
held by the local Division of the
National Fraternal Society of the
Deaf, and although we've had some
good parties, this was the best yet.
Mr. and Mrs. Norton, who stage-
managed M10 whole thing, are to be
congratulated upon the success of
the undertaking. One of the games
played proved 10 be a good aid to
memory. Plotnres from advertise-
ments with the names OUl oat were
pinned along the walls. Each per-
son was supplied with pencil and
paper, and went around viewing
the pictures, and writing down the
name of the advertisement it came
from. After all answers were turn-
ed in, it was found thai Mrs. Jacobs
had won the ladies' fit si prize, a
ring dish, and Miss M. HofTman
won the second ladies' prize of a
box of candy. Mr. Jacobs won the
men's first prize, a handsome silk

The second piize
idasp, won by Mr.

American Flag,
for men was a
D. Bean.

Another game which was played
by two teams was very exciting and
entertaining. A string stretched

across the room divided It into two

equal parts. The two captains,

Pike and Kaiser, marslialled their
players on each side of the siring.
A small rubber balloon was tin own
among them and they did their
level best to keep it I'roia touching
the lloor when on their territory.
The winning team, N. B. Pike,
Captain, was presented with a large
box of delicious chocolates.

After all had rested a few mo-
ments, Master of Ceremonies E. E.
Norton ordered all ladies lo retire
into the other room. While gone
Norton got busy. Here's a del ailed
description for the benefit of thoM
of my renders, who aie pleasure
and fun lovers :

A young man lay at full length
on a table, arms stretched above
his head. On his hands was put a
pair of shoes, and over his feet, a
hat. The whole body being cover-
ed by a sheet, just allowing the
■hoes on his hands to show. It

looked as though Ml head was
where his feet really were. After
giving the actor minute instructions
he was covered up, and two ladies
were called in. Norton, standing
at the head (really the feat) of the
SOppOSed OOrpsa, told the ladies to

ask the corpse certain qoestionii

which could be answered by either

yes or no. The fust question was,

'« Are you dead ?" " Yes," nodded
the corpse. " Are you going to
heaven?" "No," said the corpse.
** Well, where are you going I" he
was asked, and the corpse suddenly

sat up, but from (he ointr end <>flh»
table, from which Ihv questioner was
standing.
These questions were transmitted

by a third person, who stood at
actor's real head, and touched him
on the shoulder as each question
was asked.

Miss Ida Cohen, 0000 seeing the
" dead " man suddenly sit up from
the opposite direction from the
place all were looking at, made a
dash through the crowd, and sud-
denly departed fOZ places unknown.
It was some time before she calmed
down sufficiently to join the merry
makers. Some of the deaf girls

were not surprised at ail. This was
because a deal person aooolres the

habit of watching out. of the corner
of their eyes when crossing a street,
and when a sudden movement is
seen, to one side, no notice is taken
of It.

This social, like all our others,
was largely attended by out-of-
town visitors, among whom were,

Miss Sara Dunsmore, of Tnrlook,

and the Misses II. Taylor and L.
Shea, of Los Angeles.

September 8, 1917. — Mrs. Maggie
Morris Felne, of Youngstown, O.,
was in this city last week visiting
relatives. Friday evening Mr. and
Mrs. A. W. Ohlemaoher tendered a
party in her honor at their home, to
which the following were invited :
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. II. Zorn, Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Charles, Mr. and
Mrs. A. II. Sohory, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Wark, Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Greener, Mrs. Annie R. Callison,
Miss Bessie Kdgar, Miss Bessie Mc-
Gregor and Miss L. May Greener.
The evening was spent in conversa-
tion. Mrs. Felne enlivened the
occasion with ber witty conversa-
tion. Refreshments were served be-
fore the party scattered to their
homes. Mrs. Felne departed Sa-
turday morning for her home.

Miss Kolma Jansen, after a
month's pleasant visit to Miss Ruth,
a former classmate of hers in the
school here, down in Athens County,
returned to Columbus last week.
Mrs. Jansen left for Miatnshurg this
week, to remain with her brother till
school opens, September 26th.

The mother of Mr. A. W. Ohle-
maoher and Mrs. Win II. Zorn is
in a most helpless condition, brought
on by a complication of diseases,
and SOBS fears are expressed that
Bhe will not reoover soon, if at all.

Stepping out of the Union Station
Sunday noon we unexpectedly jos-
tled [against BSditOI Branson of the
Western l'ennsylvanian, who was
awaiting his train for Pittsburg.
He wanted to be there the next day
to participate in the Pennsylvania
Association meeting, which was
then in progress. Mr. Branson had
been in Columbus with his sister
since early In July.

Miss Mollie Piorce, employed In
the Hartman Hotel of Columbus, as
a maid, left Sunday evening for
Akron, O., to visit her hrother. By
the taking off of the noon train and
changing the departing time of the
early morning one, site missed the
latter, and was compelled to wait
for the five o'clock P.M. train, near-
ly ten hours.

Mr. and Mrs. August Beckert
came over from Piqua Monday to
get ready for the opening of school.
They had not received notice that
the opening date had been post
poned a week. Mr. Beckert is boys'
supervisor, and Mis. Beckert has
charge of the boys' D floor.

The Zells, after spending several
weeks most pleasantly at Clear
Lake, Ind., hobnobbing with fish-
ing, boating, and enjoying the cool
breezes from the lake, left for Fort
Wayne, Ind., to continue as guests
of Mrs. Zell's brother. Mrs. Zell
and Ernest September 1st for Chi-
cago, to visit Mends for a few days,
Ethel preferring to lemain in
Iloosierdom and rest to the excite-
ment hIim would surely encounter in
the Windy City. The party will re-
main in Indiana, after Ernest and
Mrs. Zell return there from Ohl
cago, till near Ihe opening of the
school term.

Says (he Toledo Hlnde : "Vetnel
P. BohloSSSr, 1801 Lagrange Street,
scribbled the best claim for exemp-
tion. He is deaf, has a wife and
baby and works on I farm."

Word from Cleveland is to the
effect that Mrs A. W. Moon is
critically ill, and her life despaired
of. Bat " while Ihere is life there
is hope." rVe sincerely trust that
she may oome out victorious. Some
time ago we heard that she was
sick, but with with what malady
was not stated. Her son from Chi-
cago iH with her.

All the foregoing was written in
Toledo, <>., having come up Wed
nesday to bring Mrs. Crooner, who
is visiting daughlci, Nellie, and in
cidentally to get our first look at a
grandson, who arrived on this mun-
dane sphere May 24th. The.v tJo
say he has the Crooner features,
but of that we will not dispute. The
ride up was cool and pleasant. II
seemed but a few days ago when
mother earth was bare and dreary.
Now the fluids are looming with the
fruits of the fanners' toil, either
harvested or still waiting to be
gaiueied. The thresher in some
places was seen at work seperating
the wheal from the straw, now and
then could be seen fields that still
contained shocks of wheat or oats,
kept there probably because of
damp weather. There were Holds of
garden stuff, but best of all the
waving stalks of corn seemed to
gloty in their fiuilion and each ex-
tended out a long arm (ear of oorn)
seeming as if to say, " here I am,
take me." Everywhere there was
evidence of abundant crops to feed
the people of the nation, with
enough loft to supply in part our
needy Allies in Europe.

We took a stroll over to the Ovei
land Automobile plant Thursday
morning, where some eighteen or
twenty thousand people are em
ployed, and while there chanced to

ii t Joe Schoenfleld, Kussoll Skin-

nor, L. E. Cllnkorand Charles llel/.-
let. About forty deaf people are
employed in the shops of Ihe com-
pany. Schoentieid Informed us that
be had tpiit Ihe day pievions, as the
work was too hard for him, Sad
was going home Cleveland. It

is interesting to watch the employes
coming out at quitting time. Street
cars are packed with them like sar-
dines in a box, many even hanging
on to the sides and rear ends of
cars, and it is difficult to pass along
the sidewalks while the employes
are rushing along for their homes.

We called at the bank in the
business section of the city, where
Miss Laing is employed asacouniei,
using a machine for the purpose.
She has filled the position for some
years, and gives entire satisfaction.

Thursday evening we spent a
pleasant hour will) Mr. and Mis.
Frank Walton, at their cozy home
in a line residential street. Miss
Long, since the death of her father a
few years ago, makes her home with
them. Mr. Walton woiks for a
prseslngt cleaning and tailoring firm,
and the fifteen or more years he has
Been with it, is proof sufficient that
he has given satisfaction. During
all these years he was never laid off
until last summer, when he was
down with an attack of the Grippe.
Some of the workmen who had been
on a strike for a few days at Hie
time, jokingly remarked that his

attack of the grippe was caused by
the strike.

The picnic, given by the deaf at
Springfield Lake, near Akron, O.,
was sliinly attended, the reason be-
ing that many of those expected,
either went tO vMt their homes, or
were drawn away by other attrac-
tions. However, those who wen I
there enjoyed the occasion.

Mr. JohO F. Schild, Of Canton,
<)., spent a couple of days in Buffalo
and Niagara Falls. HS enjoyed
seeing the sights at the latter place.
lie was Ihere during Labor Day.
He will be In Youngstown in two
weeks, on a visit, to his brother and
family.

A social was given on the even-
ing of Labor Hay, at the realdenoe
Of J. W. Powell, of Akron, O. It
was well attended, a good time had,
and the Men's Cottage "Fund " St
the Home for the Deaf given quite
a sum.

Mrs. Maggio McGowan, assistant
to Mrs. Chapman at the Home, loft
Wednesday for a brief visit to
Fostoria, 0.

Mr. Christian Meyer, of Cleve-
land, with her daughter Florence,
and a lady friend of the latter, have
Been at Salida Beach, near Mentor,

ping at the Holiday House, head-
quarters for the Cuis' Friendly So
eiely. There are fifty oilier
young ladies staying there. Only

members are being taken. Mrs.

Meyer and daughter will return to
Cleveland today, so the lattei can
be 00 time for school, which opens
Monday. Miss Florence is a mem
ber of the High School, and will
graduate next. Spring.

PITTSBURGH.

Mr. George Vogoloy is recovering
from his recent indisposition, and
is on the streets again with visions
of the country for him, oven though
if DO late in the season, lie figures
that there will be plenty of late
" roastingjears," and luscious fruils
of the vine and tree, to Be had for
the picking, besides unsooled air
and ozone from freshly plowed land.

On invitation, the writer had the
pleasure of a visit of a few days at
the " Camp" of Mi. Joshua Finley,

ni Etosetoa on the banks of the 41

legheny. This seems to be a charm
log place tO spend the summer, with
plenty of Interesting places to visit,

and the river, studded with islands,
affords opportunities for lowing and
fishing for those who enjoy that soil
o! recreation. Ford City, which
boasts of the greatest, plate glass
factories in I ho world, is about a
mile distant In our rambles in
this place we encountered the Cook
boyi, Charles and Heiman. They
seemed just as lull of push and pep
as ever. On Sunday, when Hiey
had a breathing spell from the
grind of business, they took the
" rest of us" on a v. r > mile ride in
their famous "Keystone No 1," and
it proved some machine, we can tell
you. Mr. Finley and his mother
were alone at I heir " Camp" at the
time of this visit, but their hospital-
ity was equal lo a houseful.

Mrs. Wm. llodiiok was in New
Castle to attend the funeral of her
brother, who pissed on August 8th.
While then she met Mr. and Mrs
Alfred Cartwright and Mrs. Cle
ment Hazon. Cartwright and
Hasen are well known by many
Piltsburgheis, but they do not show

themselves In our preelaete often.

On August IS, quite a little party
from the K. P. Mission gave their
friend, Mr. Andrew Donaldson, a

pleasant enprise, by calling upon

him at his brother's residence, in
BellOTOe, where he resides. Lunch-
eons Wefo taken along and the com-
pany evolved into an outdoor picnic

of the oamoraderle sort, Mr. Don-
aldson, however, inisisted on adding
to the viands so that it became a
regular toast. Those making up
the parly weie: Mr. II. II. B.
McMaster, Mesdames Hedrick, Hols-
house, Smilh, Woodside, Wilson,

Parke, Roeeslsr and son, Misses

Mary Clarke and A. Pfeiffer.

Miss Susan Campbell enjoyed a

two-weeks visit in Flint, Mich., as

nest of Mrs. Annie Kean, IMS

Renker, lately, and enjoyed being

with her oldtime friend immensely.
Miss Campbell also stopped over for
three days in Detroit with another
friend, Miss Theresa Gibson. Miss
Campbell is at present the guest of
her Buffalo schoolmate, Miss Mar-
gate! Kahn, of Tilusville, where re-
mained over Labor Day.

Mrs. G. M. Teegarden had the
opportunity, long deferred, of visit-
ing her friends Mr. and Mrs Frit*
Hartman and Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Oit of the South Side. They live
just around the corner from hei old
home, so the visit was relished in
more ways than one. She trod her
childhood's tramping ground again.

Mis. E. Callahan, now of Wash-
ington, Pa., was circulating among
old Pittsburgh friends for a few
days around Labor Day. She likes
Washington, but misses her friends
in the old town.

Mr. and Mrs. II. Bardes were
guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. Patton on
the letter's farm over Labor Day,
consequently they were sadly miss-
ed by the crowd at the schoolgrounds
on that day. Wonder if the busy

farmers requisitioned Henry to help

got In theii belated summer work.
The visitors made the discovery,
however, that Mr. Stork had preced-
ed them by several months, when he
brought papa and mama Patton
their latest jewel — alittlegirl — last
April.

Mr. Floyd Stoner, of Butler, sur
piised his Pittsburgh friends by ap-
pearing at the Labor Day picnic with
a bride of a few days, having been
married On August 29th, to Miss
Mary Welsh, of Butler County. The
"confirmed bachelors" are sure to
join the Benedicts soon or late and
Floyd furnishes the latest example.
Oh well, may they live happily ever
alter.

Although the meeting of the
Alumni Association of the Western
Pennsylvania Institution for the
Deaf had been officially postponed
until 1918, Labor Day brought a
large concourse of the deaf to the
school grounds. Outing the day
meeting was augmented* to 175 or
move. The day was ideal for picnic-
ing, and the lawns were dotted with
happy groups either lunching or
conversing, and all apparently hav-
ing a gloriously good time.

All hough the meeting of the As-
sociation was postponed, the unveil-
ing of the Dr. John G. Blown me-
morial tablet was not. This cere-
mony took place at 8 p.m. and
proved a most interesting occasion.
The object for which a special com-
millee of I he Association had been
working for the past three years
was accomplished. Aftei an invo-
cation, Supt. Bint made some very

Interest Introductory remarks and

then introduced Miss M. May
TOOmey who delivered the eulogy on
Dr. Brown. (This interesting paper
will be printed in a subsequent
issue.) The pleasing pffloe Of un-
veiling the tablet, which had just
recently been placed on the wall of
the main hall near the entrance Was

appropriately performed by s great-
granddaughter of Dr. Brown, Miss
.lane Reynolds, Of Pittsburgh.

Thsn Miss Emllie A pel gracefully
declaimed an appropriate poem, and
a Benediction by Prof. Roberts end-
ed Ihe program.

After viewing and criticising the
tablet and being photographed, the
Company continued their festivities
until late in the evening when many
departed to attend the " Fiat Open
House" in the city, where some LM

gathered.

Altogether is was a day long to

i»e remembered by those partioipat*
ing.

the Association in holidays, its
meetings and preparing for the

s F.nglehardt.
National Fraternal Society of the Deaf—

Geo. F. Johnson.

Supt. Buell's response was a oon-
tiuuation of bis address Friday
morning, which revealed a fine in-
sight into the application of the
principle of education to the deal in
the broadest lines. Prof. W. A.
Cochrane was the official interpreter
throughout the session.

The announcement that Ex-Supt.
J. W. Swiler was unable to be
present was reoeived with sincere
regret, as it has been a practioe of
his to attend all the meetings of the
Association, and enjoy for a few
hours the social intercourse of his
old pupils, whom he loves so well.

The final day, a pionio was held
in Washington Park, where a moat
substantial lunch, accompanied by
malted milk and coffee, was served
free, the former being a donation
from the Horlick Malted Milk Com-
pany of Racine.

Services were held by the follow-
ing ministers for members of their
own denominations : Rev. G. F.
Flick, Episcopal ; Rev. Stephen
Klopfer, Catholic ; aud Rev. N. P.
Dnllg, Lutheran ; at the different
churches Sunday morning. Tba
films of the National Association
were shown in the evening, and
aroused a great deal of interest in
the main hall of the Commercial
Club.

Resolutions urging agricultural
instruct iou at the State School and
the reopening of the shoe-shop on
a modern basis, were passed, as
also one pledging Assistance in con-
tinning the Alumni Department in

Benefits of JEoucation to tbe Deaf.

(Continued from First Page.)

L. Roberts of Kansas, J. H. McFarlane of Alabama, J. W.
Sowell of Nebraska, etc.

Religious instruction had an important place in the curriculum
of the Hartford School from the moment it was founded, and in
fact the inculcation of religious duty and Scriptural knowledge
has ever been a recognized responsibility in all the Institutions
for instructing the deaf that have subsequently been established.
Therefore, it seems strange that thirty-6ve years had elapsed
before the offices of the church were brought to the adult deaf
and dumb.

Rev. Dr. Thomas Gallaudet, son of the founder of deaf-mute
education, and a brother of tbe founder of Gallaudet College,
was the first to inaugurate this special mission in the year 1850.
In 1852 he founded St. Ann's Church for Deaf-Mutes, and in
1872 he organized the Church Mission to Deaf-Mutes, which
brought the comforts of religion at specified periods to the
populous centers of a field that embraced nearly all the States
east of the Rocky Mountains. This Mission, through the
benevolence of its founder, also provided a Home for Aged and
Infirm Deaf. St. Ann's Church for Deaf-Mutes rejoices in
an exclusive edifice for the deaf, wherein on each Sunday of the
year, and on the Holy Days of the Church Calendar, the Gospel
of Christ crucified is preached to silent congregations. It has
besides a Parish House well equipped for mental improvement,
charitable work and social recreation. The Home is a splendid
fireproof building, which shelters on an average twenty-six aged
and infirm deaf-mutes of both sexes. It is situated midway
between New Hamburg and Poughkeepsie, on a site overlooking
the Hudson River, and comprises a farm of one hundred and
fifty-six acres. Through legacies and voluntary contributions,
this Home has acquired an endowment fund of nearly two
hundred thousand dollars.

At present there are fifteen clergymen of the Episcopal faith
ministering exclusively to the deaf, all but one of whom are
deaf. It is the glory of the Episcopal Church that she first
opened her doors to the deaf and ordained them The first
deaf-mute minister, Rev. Henry Winter Syle, and Revs. Austin
W. Mann and Job Turner, have gone to their reward.

Rev. John H. Keiser is associated with Rev. Dr. John
Chamberlain, in the dioceses of New York, Long Island and
Newark.

Rev. Charles Orvis Dantzer is pastor of All Souls' Church in
Philadelphia, with missions in Trenton, N. J., Delaware and
Maryland.

Rev. Oliver J. Whildin prosecutes his workjwithin the con-
fines of the city of Baltimore.

Rev. Harry Van Allen officiates in the dioceses of Albany
and Western New York.

Rev. Brewster R. Allabough is in charge of the Mid-
Western Deaf-Mute Mission, a large and important mission field
covering several States. He succeeded the late Rev. Austin
Ward Mann, who planned this missionary district.

Rev. Franklin C. Smielau has an extensive field in Central
Pennsylvania.

Rev. George F. Flick is pastor of All Souls' Church for the
Deaf, in Chicago, and also holds services in Minnesota and
Wisconsin.

Rev. Jacob M. Koehler has a large territory in the trans-
Mississippi district.

Rev. George H. Hefflon is a faithful apostle of the Master in
New England.

Rev. Herbert C. Merrill serves in Washington, D. C, and the
South.
Rev. H. Lorraine Tracy in Louisiana and the Gulf States.
Rev. Clarence W. Charles, recently ordained, has as yet no
specified field.

«*V

Rev. Clarence Webb officiates in the Diocese of Los Angeles.
The Methodists have a well-established mission in Chicago, in
charge of Rev. Dr. Philip J. Hasenstab.

Christ Methodist Episcopal Church for the Deaf in Baltimore
is in charge of Rev. Daniel Moylan.

Rev. E. Clayton Wyand is another Marylander who has con-
ducted missions and preaches under the authority of the Bap-
tists.

The Presbyterians are established in Western Pennsylvania
and other places.

Of late years the Lutherans have been very active. They
have chapels in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Detroit,
and missions in New York, St. Louis, Kansas City, Los Angeles
and Seattle.

For over thirty-five years the priests of the Roman Catholic
Church have ministered to the spiritual welfare of the deaf men
and women who belong by heritage to the mother Church. They
have established missions in New York, Boston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Paul, and other places. Societies with
benevolent and social aims are favored with assistance and en-
couragement.

The Hebrews have organized congregations in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, and are conducting an intensive cam-
paign for the deaf of that faith. The New York Communal
Center is in charge of Rabbi Amateau. It includes a club house
for social recreation, and affords facilities for the prosecution of
other work of eleemosynary character.

To religious organization must be ascribed the impulse to pro-
vide for the aged and the infirm, following the lead of Rev. Dr.
Thomas Gallaudet, who in 1872 founded the Gallaudet Home,
just twenty years after he founded St. Ann's Church for Deaf-
Mutes. The deaf did their share in providing the initial fund
needed and helped in the cost of maintenance.

Other Homes for the Aged and Infirm are the Pennsylvania
Home at Doylestown, the Ohio Home at Westerville, the New
England Home at Everett, Mass. All of them were established
through the agency of organizations of the deaf. In the States
of Illinois and Indiana, respectively, the funds have reached a
point where the erection of buildings is being contemplated. The
Indiana Home project owes its inception to the benevolence of
Mr. Orson Archibald, a deaf-mute who made a munificent gift
of land for the purpose.

The first secular organization of adult deaf-mutes in the
United States of which there is any record, was the " Gallaudet
Monument Association," effected in 1851, shortly after the
elder Gallaudet's death. Its sole object was to erect a
monument to their first great friend and benefactor. Laurent
Clerc was made president of the Association, and in 1854, the
object being accomplished, the Association ceased to exist.

In the year 1871, at Albany, N. Y., the first association
national in constituency was organized, with Thomas Brown, of
Henniker, N. H. , as president. This Association also had for
its object the outward expression of gratitude for benefits
bestowed, which took the form of a monument in memory of
Laurent Clerc. This monument was unveiled with appropriate
ceremonials in 1874, and stands but a few yards distant from the
Gallaudet Monument in front of the American School.

It might be correct to say that the New England Gallaudet
Association, which draws its members from the six New England
States, is a continuation of the Association that erected the
Clerc Monument in 1874.

These pioneers of united effort were the focus of attention in
their day. But the increase of education has wrought wonder-
ful changes, and now associations of the deaf exist as customary
and progressive fixtures in nearly every State of the Union. The
schools have their literary societies, in which pupils become
accustomed to interchange of opinion, familiar with parliamen-
tary usage, and acquire an easy and collected manner of address
in the presence of large audiences. Therefore, when school days
are over, the transition to adult societies, clubs, or associations,
is a natural affiliation begotten of intelligent interest.

Apart from the State and Alumni Associations, there are two
organizations that have claims on all the deaf everywhere. The
first of these is the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf, which
is an incorporated mutual insurance organization that has
Divisions in different States and different cities of the same State.
It exists under the same legal privileges and restrictions as
govern all other mutual benefit societies. It pays sick and death
benefits, and has at the present time a fund of more than one
hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars, with a membership
aggregating two thousand eight hundred and fifty men, whose
admission required them to pass a physical examination made by
a physician.

The National Association of the Deaf, under the auspices of
which most of us are gathered here today, was organized in Cin-
cinnati in 1880, and incorporated under the laws of the District
of Columbia in the year 1900. There is no direct benefit accruing
to membership, as its purposes are altruistic. Its membership
roll embraces the best educated, most forceful, and progressive
deaf people of the entire country. Its objects are " the im-
provement, development and extension of Schools for the Deaf
throughout the world, and especially in the United States ; and
the intellectual, professional and industrial improvement and the
social enjoyment ot the members." It has grown in power and
influence, and the results of its deliberations go out to the people
as the consensus of opinion of the leading deaf men and women
in the civilized world.

The gratitude of the deaf to their benefactors in the educa-
tional world has found expression in various ways. As early as
1850, the deaf of New England and other States presented to
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and to Laurent Clerc, each a mas-
sive silver pitcher and salver, made from silver coins contributed
by the deaf only. And after the founder and the first teacher
had passed to their reward, honored each with an imposing
monument.

In the year 1889, commemorating the centennial of Gallaudet's
birth, the deaf of the nation placed a heroic statue of bronze on
the terrace fronting Gallaudet College at Washington, D. C, re-
presenting our first benefactor teaching Alice Cogswell in the
manual alphabet the letter " A."

The martyr- President, James A. Garfield, a friend of the deaf
and a patron of Gallaudet College, is commemorated by the deaf
with a marble bust in the chapel of the College.

The Peets, father and son, are honored with bas- relief por-
traits in the New York Institution chapel, besides large oil por-
traits in the entrance hall, and the present Principal, Enoch
Henry Currier, has been the proud recipient of a splendid alle-
gorical statue of bronze, a massive silver loving cup, and a mag-
nificent sabre, which testify to the love and esteem of the deaf.

The benevolent and self-sacrificing Rev. Dr. Thomas Gallau-
det has his kindnesses and benefactions recorded on bronze
tablets, at the church which he founded and at the Home he
established and which bears his name.

In the various State schools for the deaf there are many por-
traits in oil, that have been placed on the walls to demonstrate
the love of the deaf and their grateful loyalty to their friends.

The various features of tnis paper have been touched upon all
too lightly, because the time limit allowed me admits of no other
course. I could multiply the living examples of high-standard
successes, and still merit reproach for omitting others quite as
worthy. Each of those mentioned acquired success through the
advantages of education, and none of them owes advancement
to the propulsive power of the plethoric purse. They are pro-
ducts of the Combined System of educating the deaf — a system
which does not smother native talent nor quench the fires of
laudable ambition ; a system which includes the utilization of
every method of proven value ; a system which does not stan-
dardize mentality, but is so adjusted and applied that every
grade of intelligence is encouraged to grow and develop ; a sys-
tem which does not restrain the natural bent, except to direct
the energies into proper channels ; a system which neglects no
single deaf child, but is assurance of a full measure of benefit to

**V

all. Is it any wonde*<°\\-''' . best educated deaf are saturated

with the conviction ti V single-method" schools can not pos-
sibly fulfill to the utmost the educational functions which are
the sole justification for their existence?

At the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, the deaf and
dumb were classed with the unfit. In these early years of the
Twentieth Century — one hundred years after Thomas Hopkins
Gallaudet founded the first school for their benefit — the deaf live
and labor on terms of equality with those who, by birth or ac-
cident, have not been deprived of iny of the five senses. In
these days of war, their patriotism can not be doubted. Hun-
dreds of them are hungering for the privilege of serving on the
battle line. They are anxious either to fight with the gun and
grenade in the trenches, or aid the sick and the wounded as
stretcher bearers or in any other capacity under the merciful
mission of the Red Cross. Even now there are a great many
employed in munitions factories, and many more will this year
wield the hoe on the farm to help the men behind the guns to
quick and certain victory.

In New York City alone, the deaf have subscribed to the
Liberty Loan, through a deaf-mute broker, in amounts aggregat-
ing more than twenty-eight thousand dollars, and this sum
would be vastly increased if the subscriptions through banks
could be added. In other parts of the United States, there can
be little doubt but the deaf have done equally well.

That Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded the first school in
America for the education of the deaf is sufficient in itself to
make the name of Gallaudet a patronymic to be honored and re-
vered for all time. But he did still more. He gave the life ser-
vice of two talented sons, each of whom exerted a most puissant
Influence in the uplift of the deaf.

The youngest son of the family is Edward Miner Gallaudet,
Ph.D., LL.D. Unf retted by the cares and worries of the world,
he is peacefully passing the sunset of life amid scenes of his
childhood, in Hartford, Ct. He it was who gave to the deaf the
opportunity and privilege of a collegiate course where success
is rewarded with the honor of a degree. Though his frame
has been enfeebled by the stress and strain of nearly fourscore
years of active life, he retains the lion heart and dominant
spirit which characterized the days of his prime, and is still the
astute diplomat and the courteous gentleman whom many genera-
tions of students at Gallaudet College admired and loved.

The eldest son, Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, I). I)., I,.II.D., died
on the 27th day of August, 1902. He was a wonderful man
intellectually, and could have become a pulpit orator of great
honor and distinction. But he chose the benevolent path among
the " children of silence." The Creator never placed on earth a
man of kindlier heart and gentler ways. The emoluments of his
sacred office were insignificant, but the good he accomplished is
of permanent value and beyond computation. When he died
the entire world of the deaf was saddened. He created for the
benefit of future generations of the deaf well-organized mission
fields, a Home for the Aged and Infirm, and a Church edifice
exclusively for their use. It could truly be said of him, when
passing from this world forever : —

" He scarce had need to doff his pride or slough the dross of enrtli ;
E'en as he trod that day to God, so walked he from his hiilli,
In simplenesa and gentleness and honor and clean mirth,

" So cup to Up, in fellowship, they gave him welcome high,

And made a plate at the banquet board, the Strong men ranged thereby,
Who had done his work and held his peace and did not fear to die."

For the benefits which education has conferred ; for the in-
spiration and the happiness it has brought ; for the useful and
productive lives that we are enabled to lead ; for the privilege of
bearing the burdens of good citizenship, aiding the progress
and sharing in the prosperity of the nation ;— for all these and
other blessings, the love of grateful hearts goes out to the me-
mory of our first great benefactor, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet.
